Christmas Cheer

    Today our song is "Christmas Cheer", from my CHRIS MOOSE HOLIDAYS album, sung by my nephew, Marshall McDaniel when he was a wee-little tyke!  "Christmas Cheer" is the code name for 'alcohol during the holidays'.  It's a tradition in many cultures, and for generations kids have watched adults celebrate with alcohol, and then do stupid and dangerous things.  Most kids just accept it.  They feel powerless to change anything, but it’s scary, and lots of kids just want us to stop it.  Or they copy us and want some for themselves.  We can't help "modeling" behavior for our kids.  They love us and look up to us and copy us.  One of the most sobering things I can think of though, is that every year, between Christmas and New Year's in this country, an average of 300 people die in drunk driving accidents.  It behooves us to remember that we can have goodwill and holiday cheer without having to "drink" it.  If you haven't finished your holiday shopping, you might consider one of my albums that you haven't heard yet!  Download any of them in an instant from online sources, including my brand new "CAMPING WITH DADS".  This weekly SONGS TO CHEW podcast is free!  So share some of our joy, fun and music this year!  Have a warm & safe holiday!  Bye for now!* Subscribe to this Songs To Chew podcast ~    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peter-alsops-songs-to-chew/id1446179156 * My new CAMPING WITH DADS album! ~     https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Dads-Peter-Alsop/dp/B08CS871QW/ref=sr_1_1?* E-mail/ Website ~ [email protected]  ~ https://www.peteralsop.com * www.FaceBook.com/WeLikePeterAlsop * Youtube.com/peteralsop ~ videos* Patreon.com/peteralsop ~ support my music, podcast & other artistic endeavors* CDs & downloads ~ http://www.peteralsop.com/music   Get full access to Peter Alsop’s Substack at peteralsop.substack.com/subscribe
